Ramachandran Rector-Strategy, AMET Business School, AMET University, Chennai India S. Aravindan Ph.D Research Scholar, AMET Business School, AMET University, Chennai India ABSTRACT A detailed analysis on cargo movement and traffic analysis on the existing ports in the Indian coast has been performed with reference to the Nargol Port, off Gujarat Coast. Vessel size analysis has been performed in order to know what type of vessel, expected to come to the port, in accordance with to Indian Port Association (2013 – 2014). The scenario at west coast coal ports are reviewed to understand the size of the vessels arriving at these ports. The west coast ports handle about 58% of total liquid bulk vessels which are called at Indian Major Ports of which majority is handled by Mumbai and Kandla From the analysis of the world wide fleet and the Indian scenario, the Indian ports are mostly serving vessel size ranging between 50000 to 80000 DWT which may be due to draft restriction and limited handling facilities. But the neighboring ports Mumbai and Kandla have facilities to serve vessels of 100000 DWT and above. Cape size vessels are expected to arrive in the Indian ports in the future; so considering the future scenario, design vessels sizes are recommended accordingly. This paper features on the various aspects of analysis made with reference to Nargol Port. Key words: Port Planning, Vessel Size, Traffic Analysis, Cargo Movement, Port Facilities Cite this Article Dr.S.Ramachandran and S.Aravindan An Analysis of Traffic, Transportation And Operations of Nargolport, India –A Case Study.

Ramachandran and S. Aravindan 1. INTRODUCTION Infrastructures, in the field of transportation, health, power, communication, water, energy etc. provide the basic services and facilities necessary for an economy to function [1]. Port infrastructures are essential components of the international trade and goods movement, providing services to ships and cargo. In the last 50 years, ports have evolved from being cargo loading and unloading locations to being crucial hubs in value-driven logistic-chain systems. They now are international logistic platforms acting as interfaces between production and consumption centers [2] as well as economic complexes wherein several industries operate [3]. A port is recognized as a complex set of functions that, while interacting with the life of the local community, is interwoven with national and international interests, not only with regard to traffic and trade relations, but also in terms of organization and financial matters [4]. Seaports of today are functionally regionalized systems [5] that are parts of wider transport networks and are embedded in supply chains [6]. Containerization (through unitization) has increased handling productivity, facilitated interchange between modes leading to efficient network connections, safe delivery, lowered costs, and fostered expansion of trade, and spurred globalization. Globalization, as a phenomenon, is defined as a substantial (exponential) ‘expansion of cross-border networks and flows’ [7]. It is instrumental for changes in consumption patterns and production locations as well as the shrinking cost of commercial transport, and has led to increasing world trade and cargo volumes. In short, while the Internet has revolutionized world communication, and changed the way we work and play, the invention of the container and the rise of container shipping have changed the balance of world trade, rewritten the rules of modern manufacturing, and transformed port and manufacturing cities around the world [8]. The top five reasons for future competitive advantage are said to be: the geographical location, intermodal logistics, cargo handling efficiency, port facilities and multi-service port. In order to capture the potential from convergence of the global economy and competitive markets, and consolidate a port’s position under changed requirements, in addition to improving overall efficiency in the port sector, there is a need to build up capacities through investment in infrastructure. Keeping up with the urgent investment requirements of modern port infrastructure has become a challenge for many ports [9]. As [10] states: “Sufficient infrastructure is required in order to provide sufficient service levels, while extra capacity is required to attract future growth.” In words of the Head of Terminal Strategy at Maersk Line [11]: “Today, having the right capacity and capabilities is integral to the long-term growth and success of ports. Ensuring that the nautical infrastructure, quay design, cranes and operational layout match the specifications of future vessels is essential for ports to get ahead of the curve.” The proposed port at Nargol will be catering for the requirements of industrial towns in Gujarat and nearby states. Based on the traffic forecast summary, provided by Price Waterhouse Coopers Private Limited (PWC), various commodities proposed to be handled at Nargol port are Coal, Containers, Ro-Ro, Liquid cargo, Iron/steel, Project cargo, Fertilizers & FRM and Cement, break bulk cargo and other general cargos[12]. Also, proposed Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) with a major industrial area identified at Val sad district augments much for the development of port at Nargol. Hence, this case study has been undertaken. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 466 [email protected] An Analysis Of Traffic, Transportation And Operations Of Nargolport, India –A Case Study 1.1. Nargol Area Nargol (also: Nargole) is a village located in the southern region of the Indian state of Gujarat near the Maharashtra border, India. It lies about 150 kilometers (93 mi) North from Mumbai and around 400 kilometers (249 mi) from Ahmadabad on the Arabian Sea coast. Nargol beach is dotted with Casuarinas trees and the waters have a population of sea turtles. The nearest town is Vapid, located about 25 kilometers (16 mi), and the nearest airports are Daman and Surat. The nearest railway station is Sanjan, (about 11 kilometers from the village) with frequent train connections to both Mumbai in south and Gujarat in the north. Figure. 1. Location of Nargol area The countryside surrounding Nargol is typical Indian countryside dotted with small farmhouses. Around Nargol, one can see water buffalos swimming in the rivers or quiet landscapes of dry savannah where only a few people have their homes. The beaches are wide and lonely sand beaches with big tidal water level differences. One can spot traditional small fishing boats that patrol the coast in search of fish. The village has palm trees too and the temperature is tropical. The seaside is part of the Gulf of Cambay (Gulf of Khambhat), which has very clouded waters with almost no visibility. This is possibly because of the large rivers that bring their humus to the sea around the bay. One of the most exciting new archaeological discoveries of the 21st century – an ancient city which is said to be over 9000 years old – has been found 30–40 meters under the sea. This is one of the main findings of the marine archaeology in the Gulf of Cambay. The Village has some good surroundings on all four sides. Arabian Sea to the West, Umbergaon to the south which is separated by a river. To the East is the Village of Sanjan which is known as the place where Paris’s first landed in India and to the North is Saronda. Saronda is a beautiful small village with a population of around 1200 and has a beautiful hill with forest covered all over it. It also has two beautiful Lakes and sea on the other side. 1.1.1. Geography of Nargol Port Nargol port is located at 20⁰14’45.39’’ N and 72⁰44’30.92’’ E. It has an average elevation of 5 meters (16 feet). It is about 400 km south from Gandhi nagar, 140 km from North to Mumbai and 120 km south of Surat. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 467 [email protected] Dr. S. Ramachandran and S.

    o%o**n $n,nro,f,n41e ZOROASTRIAN RETURN TO ROOTS Sasan Jahanian & Diana Vania The Zoroastrian Return to Roots (RTR) program is a youth-led initiative that brings together students and young professionals to experience the past, present, and future of our admired and successful community. Designed for Zarathushti youth who live in the diaspora, the RTR program aims to 'return, reconnect, and revive' the religion and community. The first-ever Roots trip took place from 23 December 2013 to 6 January 2014 and included the World Zoroastrian Congress. During the inaugural tour, RTR Fellows from Canada, the United Kingdom, USA, and Pakistan explored various significant Zoroastrian historical, religious, cultural, and archaeological sites. With the support of scholars and archeologists, Fellows travelled along the paths of their Parsi ancestors from Nargol to Sanjan, Udvada, Surat, Navsari, and Mumbai over a period of two weeks. For many of the participants, this experience provided insight into the positive influence the Parsis have had on the development of lndia, as well as enabled them to learn about our different religious practices. RETURN As the 2013 Zoroastrian RTR program neared its inaugural tour, Fellows were excited and anxiously awaiting the start of the program. For some participants, this was their first time to lndia. Some had visited wiih their families before, but very few have had the chance to be immersed in our history and culture, which made this adventure fascinating. Participants were eager to visit the exact spot where Zarathushtis landed on the lndian shores of Nargol (Fig. 1). They also followed the path to Sanjan where Zarathushtis were granted asylum by the Hindu king Jadav Rana in the famed "sugar in milk" story.

  • From Nargol to Udvada: a Walk on the Beach
    From Nargol to Udvada: A Walk on the Beach The following is a write-up by Homiar Hathiram and Farhad Choksi; good friends and regular readers of Parsi Khabar. They walked all the way from Nargol to Udvada following the coastline. Here is their account in their own words. Nargol-Udwada Beach Hike – 27th August 2010 By Farhad Choksi and Homiar Hathiram The genesis of the idea to walk to Udwada came from a rather envious observation of people, from various religions, who would walk long distances to pay their respect to various divine beings that they followed. We wondered why one never heard of Parsis walking from Mumbai to Udwada. We spoke to a few faithful Parsis who visited Udwada regularly, and asked them why they never walked to Udwada? “Why the hell would I do that – only mad dogs and Englishmen would walk in the sun” was a strong retort. They preferred AC cars, AC rooms and gastronomical lunches with fried Boi (Mullet fish) & beer. So we deduced that most Parsis are sensible (debatable) and were not interested in any kind of discomfort to reach Udwada. When one of us heard that a few Parsis (one known rather well to us) walked a whopping 234 kms to a temple in Maharashtra, we were astounded. What caused them to walk this distance? Clearly the answer was faith. If it was faith, why wouldn’t they walk to Udwada (which is only 195 kms). Is our faith in Ahura Mazda not strong enough to make one walk from Mumbai to Udwada? Surely, it was our faith that brought us from Iran to India.

Abstract Phytoplankton is the primary producers, without them there would be no life in the seas and oceans. Phytoplankton forms the basis for the marine food web by forming the vital source of energy by the products of their photosynthesis. The productivity of an aquatic environment is directly correlated with the density of phytoplankton population in any aquatic system is biological wealth of water for fishes and constitutes a vital link in the food chain. Phytoplankton diversity responds rapidly to changes in the aquatic environment particularly in relation to nutrients. In present study samples were collected from five districts they are Ahmedabad, Anand, Surat, Valsad, and Bhavnagar. Water samples were analyzed for the following parameters; pH, TDS, DO, Temperature, Chlorinity, Total Hardness and Alkalinity. Overall total 19 different phytoplankton species were found during study period. The recorded genera were categorized into seven genera- Navicula, Cosinodiscus, Nitzschia, Plurosigma, Surirellia, Cylindrotheca and Prorocentrum. Key words: Phytoplankton, Diversity, Gulf of Cambay, Gujarat, Physico- chemical. INTRODUCTION Tropical wetlands have played a significant role in large number of ecological niches and harbor and considerable percentage of world’s biological diversity for humankind in all continents. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world comparable to rainforests and coral reefs.

A need was felt for quite some time to compile data on Indian Lighthouses which got shape during the eighth Senior Officers meeting where it was decided to bring out a compilation of Indian Lighthouses. The book is an outcome of two years rigorous efforts put in by Shri R.K. Bhanti, Director (Civil) who visited all the lighthouses in pursuit of collecting data on Lighthouses. The Lighthouse-generations to come will fondly remember his contribution. “Indian Lighthouses- an Overview” is a first ever book on Indian Lighthouses which gives implicit details of Lighthouses with a brief historical background. I am hopeful this book will be useful to all concerned. 21st July, 2000 J. RAMAKRISHNA Director General PREFACE The Director General Mr. J. Ramakrishna, when in December, 1997, asked me to document certain aspects of changes which took place at each Lighthouse during different periods of time, and compile them into a book, little did I realise at that time that the job was going to be quite tough and a time consuming project.
